HDS04.2-W200N-HS36-01-FW
The HDS04.2-W200N-HS36-01-FW is a drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the HDS Drive Controllers series. Intended for multi-axis motion systems, this unit coordinates power delivery and closed-loop regulation for servo drives used in machining centers, printing lines, and material-handling stations. By interfacing with higher-level PLCs, it provides regulated current and diagnostic feedback so connected axes can follow commanded motion profiles accurately. In these applications, it serves as the regulation stage between the control system and the drive hardware, helping maintain stable torque and speed response during coordinated motion.
The controller exchanges setpoints and status data over the SERCOS fiber-optic bus, allowing deterministic communication and synchronous motion updates at the drive level. Its continuous output capability of 200 A allows the power section to support large servo modules without derating under rated conditions. As part of the DIAX04 platform, it uses a common backplane and connector arrangement with related modules. Thermal management is handled by a built-in air blower, so cooling air circulates through the housing without external ductwork. This arrangement supports synchronized updates across multiple axes in systems that require coordinated motion.
The unit is part of Line 04 and is marked as Version 2. It is an HDS Drive Controller that occupies a dedicated slot in the modular rack, where motion commands from the central processor are converted into precisely timed switching signals for the connected power stage. Its rack-based format supports orderly module placement in dense control cabinets, where clear status reporting is important during operation. Standardized diagnostics and safety-related status handling help it operate consistently with other modules installed in the same cabinet.
